Cretheus Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Basically I am Making my first D.I.Y Chapter,They are situated in a sub sector very Different from macragge, where the rich grow fat and pompous while the struggle for everyday survival, The guardians of this aristocratic society are the space marine chapter........ (dunno yet!) They Are a Ferrus Mannus Successor. Unforgiving and unhumaine in battle, towering over the general population keeping constant guard. Though they have their own dessignated chapter planet, their chapter's fortress monestary is Space bound recruiting from all the worlds of the sub-sector. each planet because of the hierarchal system is completley different, begging borrowing and stealing in different ways. Ok so that was a bit of back ground, From the picture below you can see the colour scheme but the shoulder pads are quarted/checked in red an yellow rather than being one block colour have painted some will post picture soon as possible!! So need some help with a name!!!! Please?! and do you think all that is viable? I have tried to go into the grim dark rather than the super duper heroes that alot of the new codices seem to portray!

fivepointedstar Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The chapter name Custodians isn't taken but it simular to the Custodes the one that guard the Emperor. Also Custodians... that name is also used (english) as a job position. Who is a person who cleans, maintains, provides security and initiates repairs or makes minor repairs to buildings AKA a janitor. So needless to say your marines might as well be running around with spray bottles of bleach, and their trusty power mops... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246074-chapter-name/#findComment-2977152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destecado Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Waht about Warders of ______ (insert place name, planet name, object here). Warder usually means guardian or gatekeeper. For a character name, you could use Clavigerous; latin for Club or Key bearer. A variant would be Clavigero. The Chapter insignia could potentially include a key and/or club or mace.

Cambrius I'm suprised the Purination bell didn't ring thrice for the glory to their crusade? Must have been away from the phone that time, huh? ;) OT: Eradicators is already an IG tank. Its unwise to name yourself after a vehicle/ Tank, It gets folks confused.

JamesI Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Don't be so worried if a name is already taken by another DIY. There are probably dozens of DIY armies with some of the names out there across various websites.

DarkLiege Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Maybe the chapter was created to clean a section of an area in space like an ork infestation or something, thus having their name be called as the Custodians. It sound very cliche and i know that. or another way is: the chapter, whatever you want to name it as, see the imperium as a back water world with infestations and weak as they are assailed in all sides. They decides to take up a crusade to 'cleanse' the imperium of this filth. the chapter turn this mind set into a belief that for man to advance in the universe and beyond, one must destroy all taints. this is similar to how our body fight against infestation. this is just my idea and this is your chapter so do what you want. As for names, i got none at the moment. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246074-chapter-name/#findComment-2977916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cretheus Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ye Basically the fluff that I am writing up, does make them sound like bullies on the edge of reason! I like the idea of the grim guard but i dont feel its aloborate enough the character i have in my mind is that they lord it over the weaker humans of their sub sector. need some thing with a bit more.................................... pomp lol but did think of the brothers grim but thats erm..... taken!
